Abstract:Evaluating the biodegradability and biocompatibility of hydrogels is essential for identifying materials suitable for biomedical applications. This study describes the fabrication of hydrogels utilizing physiological‐soluble chitosan (N‐succinyl chitosan, NSC) crosslinked with dialdehyde guar gum (Oxidized Galactomannan, OxGM) via the Schiff‐base reaction. Hydrogels with varying volumetric ratios of NSC/OxGM, resulting in distinct NH2/CHO functional group ratios and crosslinking degrees, underwent comprehensiv… Show more
